Summary
The Strong Testimonials plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting via the 'platform_user_photo' custom field in versions up to and including 3.3.11. Unauthenticated attackers can inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when a user accesses an injected page. Exploitation requires an administrator to have added custom text fields 'platform' and 'platform_user_photo' to a public testimonial submission form.
Risk Assessment
The risk involves potential execution of malicious scripts in users' browsers, which could lead to data theft or further attacks. The attack can be performed by anyone without authentication if the form is public.
Recommendation
Immediately update the Strong Testimonials plugin to the latest version with a fix. Also consider removing or securing the custom fields 'platform' and 'platform_user_photo'.

Original NVD description (English source)
The Strong Testimonials plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'platform_user_photo' Custom Field in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.11 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Exploitation requires that an administrator has added custom text fields named 'platform' and 'platform_user_photo' to a public testimonial submission form, as the plugin does not reserve those internal metadata keys.
